Leyden-Mobius muscular dystrophy

A type of muscular dystrophy, also known as lib-girdle muscular dystrophy, that affects the areas where the limbs link to the body. Leyden-mobius muscular dystrophy can arise in either sex, and often appears first in childhood. It creates muscle weakness and wasting within the pelvic girdle (pelvifemoral muscular dystrophy) or the shoulder girdle (scapulohumeral muscular dystrophy).
